Couple of strange QP issues

[MrK]

I've had a couple of odd issues with my QP lately - would be grateful if anyone can shed any light on them!

Twice in the last fortnight the dash has given me the dreaded beeps and a message stating 'Brake Fluid level low' when I start up. After a few minutes of driving it goes away (I checked the brake fluid levels and they're fine), so figure it must be a faulty connection somewhere - or perhaps caused by this cold weather??

Secondly, I'm getting terrible condensation in the car - wondering if that's a known issue!

Dash warning could be a dirty connection, or even the condensation causing it..??
Condensation..can be the front of dash skuttle drain, they fill up with leaves, continually drawing in damp cold air. Get rid of the leaves if there are any, make sure the drain is clear and it will probably go away..!!

The boot can leak, from the top left where the thick black cable enters. Check that the very bottom of the boot (the one below the second false floor) is dry. If it's damp, that can cause the misting up problem.

Thanks both - I'll check those out. I checked for leaves a few weeks ago and found none but will look again (and check the boot!)

Remove the whole of the carpet section to check the plastic QP boot floor. Only takes a few minutes and will show any water there. I keep finding some in mine even though the carpet is dry.

Take everything (boot lining) out and pop a small drill through the boot floor from the inside. Did this on my 3200 years ago as I couldn't find the source.
